Improved amide synthesis using silver as a catalyst

The Madix and Friend laboratories have developed a novel amide synthesis that uses metallic silver or silver-based alloy with oxygen adsorbed on the surface to catalyze the reaction of primary or secondary amines with alcohols or aldehydes. The…

Novel target in NK cell mediated antigen specific memory responses

The von Andrian laboratory discovered a novel mechanism for inducing antigen specific immunological memory. Their research examines the role of a molecular target not previously known to be associated with the natural killer (NK) cell mediated…

Improved performance of copper interconnects

Copper (Cu) is now the preferred material for interconnections in ICs because it conducts better and lasts longer than aluminum. However, there are well-known problems with copper interconnects. Copper tends to migrate out of the wiring, degrading…

Silicon-based photodiodes for enhanced infrared detection, quick response and low cost

The technology offered here is for the creation of an “impurity enhanced” silicon material with unique optelectric properties. The material is created by employing an ion-implantation technique using a nanosecond laser to melt the basis of single…

Trioxacarcins and analogs: DNA-modifying compounds with potent anti-proliferative effects

The trioxacarcins are a new class of DNA-modifying natural products with potent antiproliferative effects (with subnanmolar IC70 values against lung, mammary, and CNS cancer cell lines). Trioxacarcin A, B, and C were first discovered and isolated…

High-flux, low-power diamond nanowire single-photon source arrays: an enabling material for optical and quantum computing and cryptography

The novel approach taken by the Harvard researchers was to apply top-down nanofabrication techniques to define large arrays of vertically oriented nanowire antennas in a single-crystal diamond substrate. Briefly, structures were made from a…

Small molecule inhibitors of Ebola virus entry

Background: Human cells that are susceptible to infection by pathogenic viruses express surface membrane proteins that mediate attachment and membrane fusion activity of virus glycoproteins. There are strong structural and functional similarities…
